Okay, so I always felt if I got nominated I wouldnt do it. Why? Not because I dont support bringing awareness to this awful disease, or Im afraid of getting wet, but because I dont like someone telling me what I can or cant do, and especially where to spend my money. Not to mention the peer pressure this has perpetuated, even for a good cause. The other day my son said he wouldnt do it if he got challenged, then he got challenged and hes doing it. honestly, I dont think he knows what ALS is, and now hes going against what he purposed in his heart not to do? Plus, I have enough challenges in my own life and honestly, dumping freezing water over my head, what will that accomplish? And now this article just gives me more info to stick to my convictions and not just jump on the next band wagon that comes by, no matter how worthy a cause. Should you do the ice bucket challenge? Do your research, know why youre doing it, and do it because you want to. I especially like the last three points. If you want to donate, just do it.
